Another reason to take Willard’s warning so seriously is that influenza, while usually not fatal, does have the potential to be deadly. Most pediatric influenza deaths are in kids with some disability or other health problem, but if you have normally healthy kids, it is again imperative to get that flu treated and keep them home and out of places where they could spread it and put the more vulnerable (elderly persons as well) at risk.
Thanks to Brodi Willard for sharing this and making us aware that there are more than just the USUAL influenza symptoms to watch for this year. I hope you will all share it too as we work to keep our communities healthy this flu season!
